In the /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf there is the "prepend domain-name-servers <server1>;<server2>;" line which should do the trick (but I have not tried). Or you can try "supersede" instead of "prepend" to get only the OpenDNS servers. -- Indifference will certainly be the downfall of mankind, but who cares?
